Stakeholder analysis

2. What is stakeholder Analysis? Stakeholder analysis is a strategic tool used to identify and understand the individuals, groups, or institutions that have an interest in a project, program, or organization. It identifies all primary and secondary stakeholders who have a vested interest in the issues with which the project or policy is concerned. The goal of stakeholder analysis is to develop a strategic view of the human and institutional landscape, and the relationships between the different stakeholders and the issues they care about most.

3. Why Stakeholder Analysis Is Important The concerns of all stakeholders who might influence or be influenced by the program/project. Possible conflicts or risks that could endanger the initiative. Chances to build relationships and seize opportunities during implementation. Groups that should be motivated to participate at various stages of the project. Effective strategies and methods for engaging stakeholders. Measures to lessen negative effects on vulnerable and disadvantaged groups.

4. When to Use Stakeholder Analysis Timing and Importance Define Phase Design Phase Implement Phase Analyze/Adapt and Share Phases Gender Considerations Stakeholder analysis should be conducted at the outset of a project or program and can be undertaken throughout all stages of the project cycle. In the Define phase, stakeholder analysis is vital for situation analysis, identifying key stakeholders and indicating their importance and influence for involvement in the program. During the Design phase, a detailed stakeholder analysis involving all key stakeholders helps shape strategic actions and informs risk analysis. In the Implement phase, stakeholder analysis helps identify who, how, and when stakeholders should be involved in project/program activities. Stakeholder analysis during these phases provides a benchmark for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of stakeholder engagement. Stakeholder analysis is also the time to explore gender factors in project efforts, as gender discrimination can reduce the impact and effectiveness of projects and policies.

6. 1) Identifying the key stakeholders and their interests (positive or negative) in the project; Key Questions for Stakeholder Analysis: How are the threatened project targets utilized, and by whom? Who poses a threat to the conservation target? Which stakeholders are most reliant on these resources, either for livelihoods or economic advantage? Can these resources be substituted with alternatives? Who holds claims, including legal and customary rights, over the resources in question? Are multiple government sectors and ministries involved? Are there national or international bodies due to specific laws or treaties? Who are the individuals or groups most knowledgeable about and capable of managing the resources at stake? Who currently manages these resources, and with what outcomes? Are stakeholders and their interests stable across geography and seasons, or are there migration patterns? What major events or trends are impacting stakeholders currently (e.g., development initiatives, land reforms, migration, population growth)? Has there been a similar initiative in the region previously? If so, what was its success rate? Who led the initiative, and how did local stakeholders react?

7. 2) Assessing the influence of, importance of, and level of impact upon each stakeholder; Key questions for this step in stakeholder analysis include: Who holds decision-making authority on issues critical to the project? What roles do influential individuals play within relevant organizations? Who holds influence within both thematic and geographic areas of the project? Which stakeholders will be directly impacted by the project? Who will actively promote/support the project if engaged? Who might obstruct/hinder the project if not involved? Which stakeholders have historical involvement in the project's thematic or geographic area? Who has been absent but should be involved moving forward?

8. 3) Identifying how best to engage stakeholders. How can stakeholders be effectively engaged at different project stages? What are the various ways to involve stakeholders, from information gathering to partnership? Which step in stakeholder analysis focuses on partnerships and collaboration? Who needs or wants to be involved, and how can their involvement be achieved? When should decisions on pursuing collaboration be made, based on stakeholder views? Why is effective planning crucial for successful collaborations? What challenges often derail good-faith collaboration efforts? How does an inclusive, transparent approach during project development foster ownership and commitment? Is gradual involvement a viable strategy if initial comprehensive stakeholder engagement isn't feasible? These questions encapsulate the essence of determining and implementing effective stakeholder engagement strategies, emphasizing collaboration and partnership development.
